West of Want

by Laura Kaye

First published 2012

Marcella Raines loses her twin brother and carries out his final wish to be buried at sea. A violent storm destroys her boat and leaves her badly injured in the water. Zephyros Martius, the Supreme God of the West Wind and Spring, created this deadly storm in his grief and rage. His own heartbreak over betrayal by those closest to him has made him lash out at the world. When Zeph realizes his fury has nearly killed an innocent human, guilt compels him to rescue Ella from drowning. Ella sees past Zeph's godly power to the pain he carries. Her calm presence and genuine nature awaken feelings he thought lost forever. Zeph finds himself wanting more than he has dared hope for in centuries. But his brother Eurus poses a direct threat to Ella's safety. Both Ella and Zeph must release their grip on past wounds and fight for their future together. They struggle to build something neither has experienced before: a love worthy of complete trust.
